Brian regularly sells work to both collectors and businesses.
He was recently commissioned to supply work for all new
rooms at the Brooklodge Hotel in Wicklow. Below is some
feedback from a selection of customers:
“Brian’s photographs are fantastic…distinctly
original images, further enhanced by a rare darkroom technique.
I’m proud to display his prints in 27 of our rooms,
and enjoy discussing his
art with guests. As well as complementing the overall
style of
the hotel, I know that each print is a one-off original
– the printing process he employs guarantees that
even multiple editions of the same picture are all unique.”
EVAN DOYLE - THE BROOKLODGE HOTEL, CO WICKLOW
“The work of Brian McIlvenny achieves a remarkably
successful photographic image which gains immeasurably
in depth and subtlety from the lith processing. I am
proud to possess his
work and treasure a creative achievement that gives
pleasure and fresh insight each time that it is observed.”
JOHN A. JACKSON – EMERITUS PROFESSOR OF SOCIOLOGY,
TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN
“In Brian’s work, I find the combination
of superb photographic sense of composition, a quirky
and individual sense of subject matter, with the unique
technique of lith printing, which gives the image a
vibrant warm presence that suits the graphic and iconic
nature of his images beautifully.”
IAN JACOBS – HEAD OF GRAPHICS, WINDMILL LANE,
DUBLIN
“I was first introduced to Brian’s work
as a commercial photographer on campaigns for FM 104,
Vodafone, Eircom and Colgate among others. Brian’s
commercial work was always produced to such a high creative
standard that it would be equally at home on the wall
of a gallery. His approach has always been that of an
artist. I have followed Brian’s creative evolution
and have a number of his works including: TERRAZA (one
of his best selling lith prints).”
CARLA KILLEEN – CREATIVE DIRECTOR, CATALYST DNA,
DUBLIN
“I own five original lith prints by Brian McIlvenny.
It is the technical excellence of these photographs
that is most immediately apparent, however the real
pleasure of these images is the way that the technique
when applied to intelligently and perceptively chosen
subjects produces lith prints that are both intellectually
and aesthetically so satisfying."
STEPHEN J. WILLS – INTERNATIONAL REINSURANCE CONSULTANT,
LONDON
“We are proud owners of TERRAZA and PORTE DE
MAROC,
which beautifully complement our living space.”
DBM RIGHTSMAN, RIGHTS MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING GROUP,
LONDON
“Brian’s photographs wonderfully convey
his subject matters, the lith process lifting the images
to rare and delightful levels.”
CHRISTINE MILLER – MANAGERESS/BUYER, CHANEL, LONDON
“The first time I came across Brian’s work
I was completely
taken with it. I bought a piece immediately, amazed
that I had found such a treasure. Brian’s eye
for form and shape is
striking and the process and printing of his lith prints
are of the highest quality. I have had the pleasure
and privilege of obtaining several more.”
ANNABEL DEL COURT KONIG – ARTIST/ART DIRECTOR,
IRELAND
“We believe that Brian has a special talent,
both for the
images he captures and the unique process involved in
bringing his photographs to life. On a personal note
myself
and Tara would like to thank Brian for the two recently
acquired pieces in our living room, both wedding presents
purchased for us and ones that we will cherish.”
DES & TARA – www.irishvillagemarkets.com
“Brian achieves amazing clarity in his photographs,
his style is unique and instantly recognizable due to
his signature lith printing.”
REGINA MARTIN – OWNER, VUYU & GET WIRED JEWELLERY,
DUBLIN
“Brian McIlvenny is that rarest thing, a photographer
who is capable of producing fine art from a white sheet
of
photographic paper.”
EAMON BERMINGHAM – FRAMER/PHOTOGRAPHIC ENTHUSIAST,
ARKLOW
"Recently when moving office we decided to introduce
some artwork and are delighted with the prints we purchased
from Brian" FRANK O'GRADY - MANAGING DIRECTOR,
